Event Details

In the 1950s, saleswoman Brownie Wise propelled Tupperware to skyrocketing success through home party sales. In this living history program, historian Leslie Goddard, Ph.D., tells the story of Wise’s rise from single mother to to head of an enormous sales force of housewives who sold Earl Tupper’s flexible “burping” bowls at home parties. Forced out in 1957, she disappeared, but the Tupperware Home Parties she pioneered remain the gold standard for home party selling.  

This is a joint event with the Orangeburg and Tappan Libraries.  

This program will be recorded, so please register to receive a link to the recording even if you aren't able to attend live.
